A conventional drained triaxial compression test was conducted on a normally consolidated clay sample under an effective confining pressure of 200kPa. The deviator stress at failure was found to be 400kPa. An identical specimen of the same clay sample is isotropically consolidated to a confining pressure of 200kPa and subjected to standard undrained triaxial compression test. If the deviator stress at failure is 150kPa, then determine the pore pressure developed

Test for Determination of Shear Strength

The term shear strength is often associated with the soil. Shear strength is defined as the resistance to the deformation of soil particles due to the continuous action of shear stress. In short, shear strength is the maximum shear stress that a soil can sustain.
